I think I got all filled up with love today. Clean to the top. I am not sure I had any deep, interesting or recovery related thoughts. A couple of team members shared their testimonies again this morning. I love hearing testimonies.
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. – Revelations 12:11
I have noticed recently that this verse is more than just saying I will be a witness by people seeing how I live my life. Undoubtedly my life must match my words, but it is by the word of my testimony (and by the blood of Jesus) that Satan is defeated. Especially in this highly mobile culture, people will not know the mess I used to be unless I tell them. If I do not tell them, they will just see the mess I am now. I suppose they will then decide that people who follow Jesus are just an ongoing mess and not an improving mess and they will discount Him. But if I tell them where I came from, maybe they will believe.
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. – Revelations 12:11
